**IT'S RAINING MEDALS!

w00t! well on in the keirin guys.. providing plenty of ammuntion to brings to tonight's drinking :D

silly Japanese cant even win at their own sport! not like the british, we always win at our games!! (thankfully, no one knows what cricket is, and we can beat their football/rugby teams).. so its ok...

We really are dominating the velodrome. Why is British Cycling so good. When you look at the state of Herne Hill, for example it makes you wonder how they can be so great?

I think it is obvious now. We have to build keirin circuits in every town across the UK. Replace horse racing with betting on the bikes. Put all the proceeds into hospitals and schools. Revive British manufacturing beyond Brooks saddles and design a trendy little NJS style stamp to put on everything.

if only. if only

asafa powell won his semi in 9.90.
tyson gay failed to make the final, finishing 5th. i feel bad for him, he got injured in the 200m at the US trials and was clearly still struggling. unlucky, cos he deserved to be challenging Bolt and Powell for the gold.

well.. i dont think keirin could replace horse racing.. but certainly the dogs!

Unfortunately, unless you're an Olympian, in the public's eye, all cyclists are cunts.

Replace Wathamstow dog track with a Velodrome instead of luxury flats.

Interesting…

that was for 2000... i wonder what the funding is like now?

Did anyone else watch all of the points race? I don't think I've ever seen someone gain a lap, lose it almost immediately, lose another and then retire in the way the USA rider Bobby Lea did today. It was fun trying to explain to my gf why he wasn't leading any more!

Is there some kind of big sport thing going on?

nothing major

Men's 100m final coming up in a few minutes. Probably the most prestigious gold medal at the entire Olympics. And the two fastest guys ever are going head-to-head.

I can't wait!!!

Fucking enjoyed the cycling today. What a day!
